Represent residents’ interests in development approval process

Balance the growth needs of our Town with the natural and cultural resources and ecosystems upon which our economy is based.

Plan for variable densities across our urban areas in consideration of our heritage and environment.

Complete and update secondary plans and develop strong and clear zoning by-laws to implement our Official Plan objectives.

View Official Plan amendments as an exception to the rule, not as a norm

Ensure that all plans are complementary e.g. OP, secondary plans, transportation plans, parks and recreation plans, tourism, etc.

Advocate for holistic planning decisions, not piecemeal approvals

Seek information on stormwater management at application stage instead of waiting for site plan stage where Council does not get approval option.

Advocate to review stormwater criteria in light of climate change

Consider Low Impact Development (LID) or green infrastructure for new development areas e.g. Glendale
